The earnings call reflected challenges with decreased sales and profitability across various segments, especially in the European market, but also highlighted strategic investments and improvements in the Chinese market, positioning NTIC for potential recovery and growth in the latter half of the fiscal year.
Company Guidance
During the Northern Technologies International Corporation's second quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided guidance indicating challenges due to economic headwinds, such as changes in U.S. trade policies, affecting their business units. The company emphasized a decrease in total consolidated net sales by 8.5% to $19.1 million, with Zerust Oil and Gas sales down by 28.5%, Natur-Tec sales down by 11.8%, and Zerust Industrial sales by 3.7%. Joint venture sales also saw a 15.7% decline to $19.8 million. Despite these challenges, NTIC expects a rebound in their Natur-Tec and Zerust Oil and Gas segments in the second half of the fiscal year, supported by a solid cash position of over $5 million, with $13 million additional cash in international joint ventures. The company is focusing on debt reduction and expects sales growth driven by new customer demand and strategic investments in their oil and gas infrastructure. The gross profit margin decreased from 40% to 35.6% due to a less profitable sales mix, and net income fell to $434,000 from $1.7 million in the previous year. The company is addressing these challenges through strategic cash management and adjustments in quarterly dividends to position for future growth opportunities.
